YOUR only evidence is that John was spotted on Patmos in AD 96. All that proves is a non-disappearance rapture.

Well, I guess I did ask for your spin, and you gave it to me.

Arguing whether or not the Lord returned in 70AD is like arguing with someone who claims the world is flat. Once you accept their claim it’s flat and forget that we have satellite photos proving the worlds a sphere, then you can get into some pretty interesting discussions.

Our satellite photos prove otherwise, just as history and scripture written after 70AD,prove otherwise for me. The facy that the disciple Jesus loved, John, must have been condemned to eternal hell, since he must not have been worthy to escape, and the fact that there is no account in any history, of any nation, that was aware of it happening.

All this has to be ignored before one can even start to discuss another option.

Prove to me why the apostle John didn't mention it, why he missed the rapture if it happened, and how the whole world missed the event, and why it's not even alluded to in history, and not just whatiff’s, then you have a foundation to warrant more discussion.

JH,
The reason AD 70 was not mentioned by John, but persecution of the church by the Jews was, is because it was written before AD 70. Rather than read scripture and see the evidence against post AD 70 authorship, you choose to believe word of mouth.

John wrote about what would happen in AD 70 instead of what DID happen because he wrote it BEFORE AD 70.

Why does no book mention the fall of Jerusalem in AD 70 if it was written afterward?

JH, You chose not to believe the truth because you demand evidence over faith that Christ meant what he said. Funny thing is there is plenty of evidence AND Christ meant what He said. However physical gratification over the spiritual truth drives the futurist camp as it did the Jews in Christ's day.

God Bless,
Nate
